The game features a full inventory and equipment system. As you acquire loot from killing monsters, you can place the items in your inventory. To access your Inventory, open it from the Player Menu.

To equip an item, just tap it to select it in the inventory, then tap the box you want it to go into. Note that equipment has specific slots it has to go in, if a piece won't go into a slot make sure it's the right type of equipment for that slot. Some equipment slots may not yet have items to put in them.

You start the game with a basic weapon for each class so you can choose any class to play by simply equipping that weapon into the weapon slot. If you want to equip a weapon, you must initially swap it in the hand which your current weapon is equipped in.

Equipment Basics

Equipment gives you Attack and Armor. Increasing both makes you more effective in combat. The equipment is class-specific -- so you can only get the benefit of the "Runemage's Shirt" if you are currently a Runemage. If you aren't a Runemage, you can still equip it, but it just won't have any effect (and it will look like you don't have it on).

You can "hover" over an item in your Inventory with your finger (while pointing) for a second and it will show the Tooltip, a box with more information over the item.

Durability

Equipment in your inventory has durability. When you die, your equipped items take durability damage. After the durability of an item reaches 0, it is broken, and will appear with a red background on your inventory screen. If your weapon breaks, you will become a Level 1 "Unarmed" class. Find an Apprentice Blacksmith in all major cities and villages and speak to them to repair your items in exchange for a small fee. The only gear that is repaired is the gear currently equipped.

Stats

Each weapon and armor in the game comes with a variety of stats. Note that some stats may only appear on higher-level items.

  • Attack: This is the base state for weapons. Higher attack equals more damage. This is the most important stat in the game for increasing your damage, and should almost always be prioritized above anything else. The attack of all weapons is always the same based on the level of the monster that dropped it. So for example all Level 20 Bows will have the same Attack.
  • Armor: This is the base state for armor in the chest, shoulder, glove, wrist, and head slots. Like Attack, it's the same for all items of the same level.
  • Strength: Increases your physical damage attacks. These are non-ability attacks such as basic sword swings, basic arrows, basic Musketeer bullets, etc. For Runemages, this stat increases the speed at which your spell missiles travel.
  • Intellect: Increases your magical damage attacks. These are all Runemage spells, Warrior combos, Musketeer orb effects, and Ranger ability arrow effects.
  • Wisdom: Increases the rate at which your Super ability recharges.
  • Speed: Increases your movement speed.
  • Luck: Increases your chance to get loot, and increases your chance to catch fish.
  • Vitality: Increases your hitpoints. The number of hitpoints gained for each point of Vitality changes based on your class. For example, Warriors gain more hitpoints for each Vitality point than Runemages.
  • Magical Defense: Adds extra Armor against incoming magical attacks (e.g. breath attacks, most red AoE attacks, etc.)
  • Physical Defense: Adds extra Armor against incoming physical attacks (e.g. most monster's basic attacks).

Affixes and Stat Bonuses

Epic and Legendary-level weapons and rings will drop with Affixes. Rare and Epic-level armor and rings will drop with stat bonuses. These are powerful additions to the gear that embue it with unique effects that can help shape the battle. Here are the currently-known affixes and stat bonuses available.
